Here is the defensive score sheet for Saturday's game against Georgia. For an explanation of what this is, you can go here. I revamped the sheets I use to keep track of what happens so in the future I should be better able to answer some of the questions people had last time, especially concerning the offense/defense matchups. I won't have it for this game, but I might be able to do it for Ole Miss and should be able to do so for Florida.
The Georgia came presented a couple of challenges in determining how to classify shots due to the zone that was played in the first half. I think this game in particular had a lot more shots where it wasn't obvious who the defender(s) should be (if any) so I'll be interested to know how this jives with what people saw and remember from the game.

- I've included the box score totals so you can see how they matchup. Somehow I missed an UGA field goal, but otherwise the accuracy in the totals is pretty good.
- Terrence Jones once again was a top performer in defending missed shots. Harrellson was second and Georgia missed a number of shots that were open either by poor defense by Kentucky or good passing from Georgia (or both).
- Lamb had a pretty solid game. He didn't send anyone to the line and did a good job forcing misses.

- This just in. DeAndre Liggins is really active defensively. Liggins leads the team in deflections again and forced 4 turnovers. Actually, he had a hand in 5 TO's, forcing 3 by himself and hooking up with a teammate a couple of times.
- You'll notice that I have Josh with only 1.5 forced TOs despite his 3 steals. One of his steals was split credit with another player. The other was a case where the Georgia player basically just threw the ball right to him. In that instance the only thing Josh did was happen to be standing in the right place at the right time, he didn't really do anything to "force" it, so I put that one in the "Team" category.
- Liggins and Knight both had tie-ups that resulted in a jump ball where Georgia kept the ball. I counted those as Deflections since they fall under the general idea of disrupting the offense.

- Here are the calculated metrics based on the previous two tables. I didn't go into any detail on Defensive Rating last time, but you can think of it as sort of a basketball equivalent to ERA in baseball. It's an estimate of the number of points that are scored against a player, scaled out to 100 possessions (in the same way ERA is scaled out to 9 innings).
- Liggins' rating is basically "team average" which I thought was odd, but it's mostly due to the guys he sent to the line hitting all their free throws.
- You can see that Josh was involved in fully 20% of the defensive plays and personally stopped them 60% of the time. That tracks with the inside oriented approach Georgia used in the game.
- When Lamb was directly involved in the defensive play, he ended it 90% of the time without the opponent scoring. Unfortunately, he was only involved in about 6% of the plays.
Here are the full tables. For Georgia's defense, they have 1 more TO forced than the box score and I think that came on a play where a UK player got a defensive rebound only to have it stripped by a Bulldog. I counted it as a TO while the official scorer counted it as an offensive rebound by Georgia. That's my best guess anyway.
